## In the effects menu, you probably want to select the opions for Sound/MouseClick Sounds and Sound/Keyboard Sounds, and for Cursor/Highlight Cursor & Clicks. ## Before you start, know what you are going to say and do.

Practice, practice, practice.## Record it, and look at the preview. Don't be scared of throwing it away and trying again.## If it makes sense to do so, do it as a set of several videos (or scenes) that can be played separately.##After recording, edit as needed. Put in titles / captions / transitions as needed.##Produce the video in web format##Load it onto your web site. Make sure you have all the other portfolio entry completed, i.e., a good screen snapshot, etc. with an option to play the video. If you can, see if you can embed it into your own web page as a flash movie.
